Can't say they would work for me. They don't come down far enough so the leg hem would bunch or chafe. I have some underpants with a chamois but they are more in the style of a short. I would be up for something that looks a bit more stylish though like those ones are.

If I ride, say 20km, on my SMP Lite without knicks then the only thing that happens is chafing around the knicker line. These wouldn't solve that problem because they still have a knicker line. But they look cute I guess.

Could the stretch lycra fabric get them to fit and stay in place a bit better than non-cycling knickers ? Maybe the result would depend on what type of shorts you wore over the top - anything too loose with a bulky seam might work towards the knicker line and give you grief.

My daughters don't like wearing cycling knicks - it makes them look more pro than they are, and I suspect it's a fashion thing too. So might be worth them giving these a try out.

I think they are a great idea. They would be useful touring when you want or need to wear everyday clothing but other than that I am not sure when they would be useful. The only time I wear Knicks is if i am going on a ride 30kms or more which is when I need padding.
